P70:2, 5:6.1 The Universal Father is the God of personalities. The domain of universe
personality, from the lowest mortal and material creature of personality
status to the highest persons of creator dignity and divine status,
has its center and circumference in the Universal Father. God the Father
is the bestower and the conservator of every personality. And the Paradise
Father is likewise the destiny of all those finite personalities who
wholeheartedly choose to do the divine will, those who love God and
long to be like him.

P70:3, 5:6.2 Personality is one of the unsolved mysteries of the universes. We are
able to form adequate concepts of the factors entering into the make-up
of various orders and levels of personality, but we do not fully comprehend
the real nature of the personality itself. We clearly perceive the numerous
factors which, when put together, constitute the vehicle for human personality,
but we do not fully comprehend the nature and significance of such a
finite personality.

P70:4, 5:6.3 Personality is potential in all creatures who possess a mind endowment
ranging from the minimum of self-consciousness to the maximum of God-consciousness.
But mind endowment alone is not personality, neither is spirit nor physical
energy. Personality is that quality and value in cosmic reality which
is exclusively bestowed by God the Father upon these living systems
of the associated and co-ordinated energies of matter, mind, and spirit.
Neither is personality a progressive achievement. Personality may be
material or spiritual, but there either is personality or there is no
personality. The other-than-personal never attains the level of the
personal except by the direct act of the Paradise Father.
P70:5, 5:6.4 The bestowal of personality is the exclusive function of the Universal
Father, the personalization of the living energy systems which he endows
with the attributes of relative creative consciousness and the freewill
control thereof. There is no personality apart from God the Father,
and no personality exists except for God the Father. The fundamental
attributes of human selfhood, as well as the absolute Adjuster nucleus
of the human personality, are the bestowals of the Universal Father,
acting in his exclusively personal domain of cosmic ministry.
P70:6, 5:6.5 The Adjusters of prepersonal status indwell numerous types of mortal
creatures, thus insuring that these same beings may survive mortal death
to personalize as morontia creatures with the potential of ultimate
spirit attainment. For, when such a creature mind of personality endowment
is indwelt by a fragment of the spirit of the eternal God, the prepersonal
bestowal of the personal Father, then does this finite personality possess
the potential of the divine and the eternal and aspire to a destiny
akin to the Ultimate, even reaching out for a realization of the Absolute.

P71:1, 5:6.6 Capacity for divine personality is inherent in the prepersonal Adjuster;
capacity for human personality is potential in the cosmic-mind endowment
of the human being. But the experiential personality of mortal man is
not observable as an active and functional reality until after the material
life vehicle of the mortal creature has been touched by the liberating
divinity of the Universal Father, being thus launched upon the seas
of experience as a self-conscious and a (relatively) self-determinative
and self-creative personality. The material
self is truly and unqualifiedly personal.

P71:2, 5:6.7 The material self has personality and identity, temporal identity; the
prepersonal spirit Adjuster also has identity, eternal identity. This
material personality and this spirit prepersonality are capable of so
uniting their creative attributes as to bring into existence the surviving
identity of the immortal soul.
P71:3, 5:6.8 Having thus provided for the growth of the immortal soul and having
liberated man's inner self from the fetters of absolute dependence on
antecedent causation, the Father stands aside. Now, man having thus
been liberated from the fetters of causation response, at least as pertains
to eternal destiny, and provision having been made for the growth of
the immortal self, the soul, it remains for man himself to will the
creation or to inhibit the creation of this surviving and eternal self
which is his for the choosing. No other being, force, creator, or agency
in all the wide universe of universes can interfere to any degree with
the absolute sovereignty of the mortal free will, as it operates within
the realms of choice, regarding the eternal destiny of the personality
of the choosing mortal. As pertains to eternal survival, God has decreed
the sovereignty of the material and mortal will, and that decree is
absolute.

P71:4, 5:6.9 The bestowal of creature personality confers relative liberation from
slavish response to antecedent causation, and the personalities of all
such moral beings, evolutionary or otherwise, are centered in the personality
of the Universal Father. They are ever drawn towards his Paradise presence
by that kinship of being which constitutes the vast and universal family
circle and fraternal circuit of the eternal God. There is a kinship
of divine spontaneity in all personality.

P71:5, 5:6.10 The personality circuit of the universe of universes is centered in
the person of the Universal Father, and the Paradise Father is personally
conscious of, and in personal touch with, all personalities of all levels
of self-conscious existence. And this personality consciousness of all
creation exists independently of the mission of the Thought Adjusters.

P71:6, 5:6.11 As all gravity is circuited in the Isle of Paradise, as all mind is
circuited in the Conjoint Actor and all spirit in the Eternal Son, so
is all personality circuited in the personal presence of the Universal
Father, and this circuit unerringly transmits the worship of all personalities
to the Original and Eternal Personality.

P71:7, 5:6.12 Concerning those personalities who are not Adjuster indwelt: The attribute
of choice-liberty is also bestowed by the
Universal Father, and such persons are likewise embraced in the great
circuit of divine love, the personality circuit of the Universal Father.
God provides for the sovereign choice of all true personalities. No
personal creature can be coerced into the
eternal adventure; the portal of eternity opens only in response to
the freewill choice of the freewill sons of the God of free will.

P72:1, 5:6.13 And this represents my efforts to present the relation of the living
God to the children of time. And when all is said and done, I can do
nothing more helpful than to reiterate that God is your universe Father,
and that you are all his planetary children.
